Union leaders have used the annual May Day rally, meant to celebrate the struggles of the labour movement, to back corrupt CFMEU NSW leader Darren Greenfield just days after he admitted to taking thousands of dollars in bribes from a boss in return for favourable union treatment.
International Transport Workers Federation coordinator Paul McAleer, an ex-Maritime Union of Australia secretary now representing hundreds of thousands of wharfies in the Asia Pacific, told a rally of 1000 workers on Thursday that Greenfield was “fearless” and he would stand by him “forever”.
